## Summary

The procurement process titled "Tell us about your care - Adult Social Care" was initiated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which operates from Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Classified under the CPV code for research and development consultancy services, the procurement method used was an open procedure. The contract, awarded to Silver Line, has a total value of £15,000 and was officially awarded on 14th November 2015, with the contract period spanning from 14th November 2014 to 13th May 2015. The tender period ended on 28th October 2014, highlighting the timeline for this particular procurement effort.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses focused on research and consultancy services, particularly those adept at collecting and analysing qualitative data from public sources. Companies with experience working alongside voluntary organisations would be well-suited to engage in similar tenders, leveraging their capabilities to support the CQC in ensuring the safety and quality of care services. The focus on improving regulatory practices opens avenues for innovation and development in service delivery across the health and social care sectors.

## Notice

The aims of the project are: * To actively seek intelligence from a voluntary organisation about whether care services are meeting required standards of quality and safety, with a focus on gathering the individual experiences of people contacting their helpline over the next six months. * To assess the value of the intelligence to CQC in assessing risk and prompting regulatory activity. * To increase awareness of CQC and its role as regulator of health and social care services in England and the standards of quality and safety people have a right to expect for themselves and their loved ones. Voluntary organisations have access to a rich source of qualitative information from the public about the quality and safety of services which could be extremely valuable to CQC's assessment of and responsiveness to risk. Through a project of this kind we can ensure a managed flow of information which can be tracked and evaluated effectively.
